TRINITY SWIM TEAMS SWEEP CLARK
Bantam Women Finish With Best Record in Eight Years

Worcester, Mass.- Senior co-captain Jesse Hammond (New London, Conn.) won both the 50- and the 100-yard freestyles to lead the visiting Trinity College Bantams to a 127-80 win over the Clark University Cougars in men’s swimming and diving action this afternoon. Senior co-captain Kathryn O’Donoghue (Old Westbury, N.Y.) won the 1,000-yard freestyle to lead the Bantams to a 137-84 win over Clark in the women’s meet. The Trinity men improve to 1-8 with their first win since February of 2001, snapping an 18-meet losing slide. The Bantam women finish their dual meet season with a 6-4 mark, which is its best since a 7-2 record in 1995.

Freshman Katie Tucker (Latham, N.Y.) took first in the 200-yard individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle, while sophomore Jennie Bartlett (Marblehead, Mass.) swam her best-ever time in the 200-yard breaststroke to capture first place.

For the men, freshman Christian Greer (Fairfield, Conn.) won the 1,000-yard freestyle and the 200-yard butterfly, and senior Maurice Lee (Wayne, Pa.) finished first in the 500-yard freestyle. Lee also teamed with Hammond, senior co-captain Ryan Bares (New Hartford, Conn.), and senior Michael Tobin (Upper Montclair, N.J.) to win the 200-yard freestyle relay.
